Novice sea kayaker. Expert bird watcher. Very Metal.
Lost about an hour watching the Minsmere Common Terns fishing the other day - proper champs. 2 Roseate and a juv Arctic on the scrape too... ♠️ #SuffolkBirding
Couple Dunlin resting on the beach at Minsmere the other day. Swipe along to see how well camouflaged they were... ♠️ #SuffolkBirding
Fledged Avocet doing perfect feeding technique of the adults. Wee beaut... ♠️ #SuffolkBirding
Had flyover Cranes twice at Horsey this afternoon. Never tire of these... ♠️
Yo! Clasp and spring have broken off my Velbon PH-157Q tripod head. I've replaced once before. Can anyone recommend a compatible - more robust head that will fit Velbon tripod? ♠️ Help a bad lad out! #BirdingGear
Local Little Owls have fledged at least one young. Which gives me the hype. Unlike the parents - youngun actually stayed put for a photo... ♠️
No rare garden butterflies today - did see a beauts fox. It even did a 💩
Is this what I think it is? IN MY GARDEN?!? @ukbutterflies.bsky.social @savebutterflies.bsky.social
Jersey Tiger owa Icklingham on today's walk. First I remeber seeing in Suffolk. ♠️
Still obsessed with the Marbled Whites by the house. Just total beauts 🤩
A few Moon (pictured) and also Compass Jellyfish on Saturday's paddle. Saw Moon Jellys up in Argyll back in May - now at home! #JellyFish #SeaKayaking #SeaKayakAdventures #TastesLikeChicken
They arrived last year - now the colony of Marbled Whites near the house have gone through the roof! Tens of them flitting around! ♠️
That's my office picture selection finished for now... @cach22.bsky.social 3 shrikes print, treasured Mal Bittern photo (see pinned post) and @edkeeble.bsky.social Great Grey Shrike original... ♠️ #Art #Photography #Refined #Classy #Gentleman
Enjoyed this Black-headed x Mediterranean Gull at Minsmere the other day... ♠️ #SuffolkBirding
Kept it classy with a run in the forest with big J on lunch. Legs rinsed - but hyped. ♠️ #ForestKing #TrailRun #StayMetal @thegreenrunners.bsky.social
Suffolk birding at it's absolute best this weekend. Too many highlights to list - but we bivvied out with Nightjars singing and found a Red-backed Shrike yesterday morning! ♠️ #SuffolkBirding
Straight off camera record shot of the Westeleton, Red-backed Shrike from earlier. ♠️ The hype was real! #SuffolkBirds #ShrikeMaster #ShrikeyMcShrikeFace
Walk about @wwtworldwide.bsky.social Welney with my godson this morning. Always an excellent reserve and these Cranes did a super close flyby - for the win 🏆
Only my second time seeing this gem. Broad-bordered bee hawk-moth on Viper’s-bugloss in the Kings Forest this afternoon. Just exquisite. Also, Hummingbird Hawk-moth and shed loads of Painted Ladies. ♠️ #StayMystical #ForestKing #Moths
Half term absolutely dominated by Painted Ladies... coming in off the sea at Southwold last weekend, in the Derbyshire Dales and now at home! ♠️ I think the same high pressure that sucked hot air from Africa has pushed these beauts up on mass. Anyone confirm that theory?
Seen this? Green Hairstreak on gorse at Walberswick on our walk to the beach yesterday. ♠️ Absolute jewel.
Was trying to enjoy my lunch - when this Bittern flew past window?! Image isn't perfect (nor is your face) as taken through glass. Immediate shouout to @lizziebruce.bsky.social and team for a killer reserve.
Willow Warbler from yesterday. Shit loads of warblers across the day inc Wood and Grasshopper. On the water today... so expect less warblers... ♠️ #Argyll #Warblers #BeaverWatch
FYI. Up in Argyll. Real chance I might see an actual beaver this evening. Can you imagine how intolerable I'll be if that happens? 💯🦫💯🦫💯 #Argyll #Beaver #Beavers #BeaverWatch #Intolerable
Just for fun... record shot of the Black Tern at Livermere yesterday. Consolation for missing the 38 bird strong mega flock on Fri! ♠️ #SuffolkBirding
Accidentally saw this Caspian Gull whilst scanning for the Bar-tailed Godwit. It was not intentional. I am not that sort of person... ♠️
